Reflections and poems about life on the bayou

Call and Response

Slice of Life Day 26. Join the Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Challenge.

Doing the Slice of Life Story Challenge with my class has had many rewards. One of these is the return of a former student, now in 7th grade. I’ve shared her poetry before. Her talent is admirable. All I have to do is open the door, and she walks through. We’ve been doing a bit of call and response. She calls; I respond. Today I am posting a few of our exchanges. Right before I posted this, I checked comments on our class blog. Mrs. Surridge with Castlebloggers chimed in on Kaylie’s list poem.

I live on the Bayou Teche in New Iberia, Louisiana. I love teaching, poetry, my dog Charlie, my three daughters, and dancing with my husband. This space is where I capture my thoughts, share my insights, and make connections with the world. Welcome! Walk in kindness.
